May 5, 1944
Mr. George V. Rotan
806 Rusk Avenue
Eouston, Texas
Dear Sir:
We have noticed with interest the conment re the Mont-
gomery Ward case in your circular of the first.
without entering into any argument or discussion as to
the law on the subject, we respectfully submit that it is ill-
advised to bring political pressure to bear upon the solution
of a legal question already under review by the courts. There
is an increasing and undesirable tendency to seek to bring
political influence and political pressure to the solution of
legal economic and even moral questions.
In my humble opinion, the whole Montgomery Ward in-
cident is deplorable, but the habit and practice of organizing
pressure groups, stimulating pressure sentifl3t on our Congress-
men and Senators, is destined to open fissures of weakness in
our whole economic and democratic structure.
Yours very truly,15
